Busy Week in Science:

LABS!!!!
We will be performing two labs this week. Everybody loves science labs and both of these are edible. One lab will address the LAW of SUPERPOSITION and the second lab will focus on fossil extraction.

Notes:
Notes this week will focus on our initial discussion of the 3 ERAS of geologic time. Speaking of  GEOLOGIC TIME......

Q3 Projects will be assigned this week. Some classes will be creating travel brochures while others will be creating a Geologic Time Machine and collecting souvenirs.

February 25th -March 1st

This week in science:

Relative Age vs Absolute Age
**How can we determine how old fossils and rocks are using relative age and absolute age?
**How can tectonic plates change this age?

Key terms:
--Law of Superposition
--Relative age
--Absolute age
--Unconformity

**Make sure you can explain these terms and be able to draw the law of superposition!!

February 18th-February 22nd

Fossils and Geologic Time:

--Where do we find fossils?
--What exactly is a Fossil?
--Explain the difference between fossilization and preservation. Is there really a difference?

After this week, you should be able to discuss these questions with your groups.

**Mystery Print Activity:
